A Thousand Naked Strangers
Another great column from my friend the Atlanta EMT. Here’s the opening:
As a general rule life in the hood is not kind to dogs. Nor, for that matter, is it kind to children and old ladies. Then again, there’s a ninety-year-old woman living in The Bluff who regularly sports a t-shirt that reads ‘I Got Skills.’
Rules are made for nothing if not to be broken.
But dogs tend to live a particularly miserable existence. Nearly all are underfed, abused or abandoned and most of the ones lucky enough to have a home spend their lives tethered to a four-foot section of chain, their entire universe narrowed down to a tiny patch of mud.
This neglect makes them aggressive and mean. Social animals simply aren’t meant to live their lives in squalid isolation. So it’s not uncommon for someone to get bitten.
Read the rest.

Your friend the EMT should get a book deal.
I once made a living working with words. Still, I find 1,541 words on this subject a bit too much–even on a blog.
